Same same but Tassie: A tale of two very different Attica restaurants
The restaurant's signage is to be altered to reflect the updated name. But no update on the similar style of font, which we are nicknaming rustic class with a hint of comic sans. Stankovic said he had legal advice that the new name was fine. Fair enough. And it might be tricky to trademark a name in use since ancient times to describe the district of east-central Greece surrounding Athens. For his part, chef Ben Shewry of the more famous Attica, who is on the record putting a bombe Alaska under food critics and this newspaper's Good Food Guide in his memoir, Uses For Obsession, was nonchalant when we contacted him via Mr Alexander Graham Bell 's portable communications device. Loading He told us he was unaware of the southern venture and was 'not really' concerned. 'I feel like we are well established enough to not be concerned about someone else's restaurant.' Ex-VEEP down under Once just a heartbeat (and later, a pollster's coin flip) away from the White House, former US vice president Kamala Harris somehow found herself on the Gold Coast speaking to a few thousand real estate agents. The 2024 presidential election loser was guest of honour at the Australian Real Estate Conference this weekend, her first trip Down Under facilitated through some savvy string-pulling by property kingpin John McGrath. How the real estate bros in their skinny Tarocash suits responded to the former veep's sober calls to remember the 1930s is anyone's guess. We reckon they might've gotten more out of California real estate agent and smarmy reality-TV villain Mauricio Umansky 's hit session on Monday. While CBD originally heard that Harris would make time only for the Gold Coast, she flew into Sydney first, before heading to the Sunshine State on Saturday afternoon, the day before her scheduled speech. Harris and her husband, former second gentleman and entertainment lawyer Doug Emhoff, were spotted dining at the Bathers' Pavilion at Balmoral Beach on Friday. And on Monday, Emhoff posted an Instagram snap of the pair in Sydney's Royal Botanic Gardens. During their time in the Harbour City, CBD hears the pair were holed up at Crown in Barangaroo because what could be more peak Sydney than staying in a casino? Crypto king where it counts US President Donald Trump is a rather simple creature. Sometimes, all it takes to get into his good graces is flattery, money, or a bit of both. This is how Australian crypto entrepreneur Kain Warwick wound up in the court of the mad king. Last weekend, the president hosted an exclusive event for the 220 investors in his $TRUMP cryptocurrency at his Virginia golf course, a stunt that kicked off frenzied buying of the 'memecoin'. Warwick, the founder of cryptocurrency trading platform Synthetix, and the son of former professional tennis player Kim Warwick, was among those invited to the event, according to The New York Times. 'It would be great to be able to meet the president,' he told the Times. 'That's something that I wouldn't have expected I would have the opportunity to be even in the position to do.' Warwick got his in by stockpiling $TRUMP coins since January, although he didn't make it to the exclusive White House tour reserved for the top 25 holders of the president's memecoin. Try explaining any of this to a person from the year 2013. On the home front, Warwick, an early 40s young-rich-lister, owns a swath of beachside property in Sydney's eastern suburbs, and recently offloaded a $US36.5 million ($56.04 million) penthouse in Manhattan's West Village. Which leaves plenty of cash left over for memecoins. Far from Scots free Here's a tale of a private school turning it up to 11. The grand opening of Scots College's $60 million garish faux-Scottish baronial castle in Sydney's Bellevue Hill last month, seven years after plans were first lodged, included an extravagant ceremony featuring fireworks and a military tattoo. Now, there is disgruntlement in the Scots' parents community because all that pomp accompanying the castle's opening seems to mean little cash left for much else. Last week, parents were shocked to receive an email calling for donations towards funding various events for year 6 students headed for the senior school, including a mother-son dance and a special celebration dinner at Randwick Racecourse. That is, on top of the tickets they'll actually have to purchase. 'We rely heavily on donations to keep these ticket prices as low as possible and afford those 'little extras' to make it a year to remember for the boys,' said a fundraising email from the school. Those 'little extras' are hardly the stuff of a 12-year-old boy's dreams. Loading The extras include $430 per case of French champagne (their tautology, not ours) because we hear there had been complaints about a function earlier this year where prosecco was served. The horror! The school also needs $1250 for bow ties for the mother-and-son dance, $2000 for celebration dinner cookies, and $8000 to design and print the year 6 journal.
